Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

game-story-flow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Game Story Flow

Core Workflow

  1. Identify genre, target tone, player role, narrative camera, agency level, branching depth, content budget, and gameplay loop.
  2. Define the player fantasy and emotional arc before writing scenes. The story should reinforce what the player repeatedly does.
  3. Treat plot as playable pressure: each beat should create a decision, reveal, risk, relationship change, world-state change, or motivation to act.
  4. Preserve agency. When the story must constrain the player, provide strong motivation, readable consequences, or interactive expression.
  5. Track state explicitly: known information, unresolved questions, character goals, relationship changes, promises made to the player, and consequences already paid off.
  6. Review pacing across gameplay, exploration, dialogue, combat, rest, discovery, and cutscenes. Avoid placing long passive exposition where the player expects control.

Narrative Structures

  • Linear story: build clear act turns, escalating stakes, reversible setbacks, and playable transitions between major beats.
  • Branching story: define branch intent, divergence cost, merge strategy, remembered variables, and consequences the player can perceive.
  • Quest narrative: connect objectives to character motivation, local stakes, world logic, and a meaningful result.
  • Environmental storytelling: use spatial order, props, audio, enemy placement, lighting, and interactables to imply events without over-explaining.
  • Dialogue: give each speaker a goal, subtext, conflict, and exit condition. Keep choices distinct in intent, not just wording.

Deliverable Shape

For substantial narrative work, produce:

  • Premise and player role
  • Core conflict
  • Character goals and pressure points
  • Beat sequence
  • Branch or consequence map
  • Gameplay integration notes
  • Dialogue or scene samples where useful
  • Open questions for design, production, or playtesting

References

  • Read references/story-flow-checklist.md when outlining, branching, revising, or reviewing game narrative structure.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
